Пролетал половину дня за ним : то отстаю, то сбрасывает. Отодвигание камеры тоже мало чем помогло. Решил таки прицепить себе мифриловые шпоры и пролетел с первого раза. Видео посмотрел один раз ( запоминать было лень), да и крутился он на месте, разбрасывая бомбы, поменьше,чем в видео.

Интересная особенность: если лететь за небокрушителем, то запуская свои бомбы он непременно попадает в себя в результате чего останавливается! на 4-5 секунд. Таким способом собственно и сделал ачив, просто тормозил его каждые 10 секунд после чего облетал спереди и повторял. Ну а так как друид, когда сбивали, падая залезал в флай, дак вобще изимод ;) дерзайте!

С патчем 3.3 после: "любой наносимый урон больше не сбрасывает игрока с маунта" ачив теряет свою былую славу - и все гордые носители этого ачива - могут запихать свою гордость куда подальше и идти плакаться на форум - дабы заново дисмаунтило при атаках небокрушителя =) так что вперед за халявой! висеть под обстрелом можно часами :D Прекрасно понимаю близоф за нерф злых убийц с маунтов - но такой квест поганить - эх.....

Патч 3.3 занерфал так-же квест "бомбист острогорья" хоть там и не так часто дизмаунтило тем немение это был дополнительный непрятный фактор =))

поставьте меточку и далеко не отрывайтесь ,типа как писали выше 6-8 корпусов... и ачив ваш...
да и не нужно придумывать ауры и т.д. все делается на маунте 280, без всяких приблуд)))
удачи!

Комментарий от 633470

Прошел недавно, суть в следующем: самого игрока с флая не сбрасывает, но маунт начинает падать и контроль над ним теряется, т.е. если упасть на землю то можно взлететь опять, но самое печальное если упасть так над бездной. Лететь лучше повыше нпс, тогда они часто сами подрываются.

Комментарий от 656455

Сделал сегодня на 280 маунте без баффов с 3 раза.. чтобы победить достаточно просто не проиграть(не провалить квест) надо все время держатся в радиусе обстрела капитана..необязательно лететь перед ним, я летел все время сзади но просто не давал ему далеко уйти..на поворотах срезать вот и все.

Комментарий от Malashi

странно. только что сделал этот ачив. Так вот дело в том что моего 310 маунта не перевело в 280 как это всегда было, к тому же при попадании в меня метеоров меня вообще не сбивает. Незнаю баг это или нет, но сейчас этот ачив заключается в том что бы просто не отстать от Небокрушителя...

to hobbit1488 в БК 150% маунтов небыло... были 60% и 280%, и если у тебя небыло скила для покупки 280% маунта квест было не взять (незнаю как сейчас) и даже на 280% маунте было трудно его делать, для облегчения покупался тринк http://ru.wowhead.com/item=25653.

Сделал с 1-ой попытки сегодня. Схема очень простая - зажимаем обе кнопки мышки и летим за этим хреном, но не по прямой, а как бы по спирали - тогда ни одна бомба в нас не попадёт =) непрерывно крутим мышку так, чтобы преследуемый не вылезал за края экрана, но находился ближе к ним, и постоянно перемещался как-бы по кругу. Чтобы было легче ориентироваться, я повесил на него печеньку =)) За весь полет влетела только одна бомба))

Хм, с моим 310% маунтом моб меня обгоняет по прямой (причем сильно обгоняет), примерно на второй-третьей минуте он поднимается высоко вверх и я его просто немогу догнать. 7ой раз впарываюсь на этом моменте.

Комментарий от DarkSova

К сожалению как ни менял настройки графики метеориты не видны (пару раз видел только) из-за этого постоянно в них влетаю и соответственно меня немного отбрасывает назад.
Главное при этом всё время лететь вперёд иначе если отпустить кнопку то можно свалиться с маунта.
При поворотах Небокрушителя срезать путь и быть к нему как можно ближе. Иначе даже если он будет в пределах видимости, но чуть дальше чем нужно то квест проваливается.

Комментарий от LilithHelka

В данный момент задание забаговано.В тебя просто тупо летят невидимые метеориты и о том что они есть ты узнаешь когда в тебя они попадают.Но всё же задание(и ачив следовательно) можно получить.Затратил 5 попыток и путем частичного запоминания маршрута а невероятной удачи прошёл.

Комментарий от Failendark

Сделал с третьего раза сегодня, первый раз провал задание, когда он вырвался на прямую ближе к финишу, к тому моменту нужно постараться быть впереди него иначе он быстро от вас отстанет и квест провалится. Второй раз провалил квест еще до того как орк взлетел, не торопитесь бежать к линии старта вперед орка. это тоже провал квеста как ни странно))
По существу: старался лететь ниже орка, казалось бы если лететь выше, то снарядами он в тебя не попадет, но почему-то так отстаешь от него. Еще посоветую для тех у кого не стоит в отслеживании поставить галочку на "цель/запомненная цель" ну и собственно держать орка в таргете для того, чтобы вдруг при случайном вираже не потерять окра из вида и не растеряться.
И еще не пытайтесь догнать его по прямой, отрыв нужно набирать на поворотах срезая углы.

Комментарий от Metridia

Цепочка квестов на драконьи гонки открывается когда вы закроете полоску на 6000 репутации с Крыльями Пустоты за дейлики на Кряже Крыльев Пустоты. Чтобы победить участников гонки нужно просто держаться рядом с ними когда они кидают свои бомбы - взорветесь рядом с гонщиком и его этот взрыв тоже ушатает. Победитель Небокрушителя так не выйдет, главное продержаться до конца гонки с ним и сесть на полосу в конце. Благо что бомбы не сбрасывают с маунта если в вас прилетело. А Небокрушитель бесит своими станящими молниями, но в принципе его реально победить с первого раза. Удачи!

While this race is definitely overrated in terms of difficulty (I won within 10 tries), it will be much more difficult after level 70 due to the changes in functionality of the Riding Crop. If you've leveled past 70 and you have not yet done this achievement, I would recommend that you start working on getting a 310% mount instead, with http://www.wowhead.com/?achievement=2145 being the easiest (although also lengthiest) way to do so.

Комментарий от 220379

Can this achievement be obtained if Skyshatter is beaten prior Patch 3.0.2?

Комментарий от 266155

You can easily complete this quest/achievement if you are a tailor with the Magnificent Flying Carpet. Since the carpet is considered a vehicle, you do not get dismounted when the meteors hit you, thus allowing you to simply follow along with Captain Skyshatter on his route.

Комментарий от Gnomespwn

Kinda easy to do being a druid. Since fireballs don't put you in combat... Just assign some button to shift FAST into bird form (I used "E") and enjoy an easy mode ride ;)

Комментарий от Jeeo

This achievement is not that difficult. All you have to do is learn the route and then fly AHEAD of Captain Skyshatter. Yes he will gain on you during straight flights but any place there is a corner you can just cut the corner to regain your lead. You'll never get hit by his fireball spam by being in front of him.

Комментарий от 71624

Any 310% mount you have will get transformed into a 280% Netherdrake once you hit the island. With the 'removal' of trinkets past level 70, there are now no other ways to 'cheat' this other than mount auras.

Комментарий от 334559

Finally got this a few hours ago, only took about 6 hours of straight dying to achieve. All I can say is, "Practice makes perfect!" :) Did it at 80 with all my gear off to prevent an enormous repair bill. Learn his route, try to keep your distance but not too far away (if you aren't able to stay ahead of him that is), and set your zoom as far out as you possibly can, as well as hide your interface. Helped me a ton. Biggest problem I had was being tired, frustrated, and talking on vent x.x Stay away from those three things and you should get it with no problem. Good Luck! :)

Комментарий от 336575

Tried the methods described in comments 5 or so times, usually failing within 30 seconds due to the chaos of the fire. Tried it by the one method possible to avoid them and got it on the second try.

Here's a strategy that will allow you to make progress from attempt to attempt, rather than relying on luck:

The idea is to keep ahead of him for most of the race. When he lifts off from the runway, he'll make a long 180 back to it. This gives you an easy opportunity to gain a lead on him right from the start. From this point on, travel in the same direction as him with your camera turned on him. When he starts turning, make a sharper cut in that direction (often times the turn keys will suffice - if they don't and you fall behind, remember to make a sharper or earlier cut at that point on next attempt).

Once you get used to the route he takes, it should become fairly easy to get to the point where he first returns over the Dragonmaw camp. Shortly after this, he'll fly up fairly high over a mountain and likely overtake you. Let him - just avoid the fire as he passes. At this point he'll fly around fairly sporadically, dropping fire all over the place. As long as you stay below and a decent bit behind him, they should be easy to avoid since he does not go very far in any direction. After this he'll make a short route back to base and you'll have your achievement.

Tips:
- Hide your interface.
- If you watch the head of his drake, you'll be able to see very clearly when/where he's turning.
- Stay roughly on the same level as him, unless you're anticipating a decline/incline on his part.
- He'll often hit himself with his fire. If you're ahead of him, briefly pause to avoid going too far.
- If he starts to catch up to you, he'll probably hit himself. If he does not, go under him as he passes (to avoid fire) and look to cut his next turn to regain a lead.
- If you get hit while ahead of him, there's a good chance he hit himself too - mount back up and keep at it unless you get the fail message.
- Keep your camera at max range (there's an option to allow your camera to extend even further back), and check in front of you every now and then to avoid running into an obstruction.
- Eat a jam sandwhich.

Комментарий от Ozberk

I've finally manage to defeat him after several attempts without any speed buffs/trinkets. The tactics mentioned above are similar to one I've used during the race but below some tactics that might help you as well:

- I've turned off my UI and zoomed to FPS view rather than max distance. This gives you clear view without any obstacles including yourself.
- Rather than using forward key to proceed I used strafe keys instead. This gave me the advantage of tracking him even if I'm ahead of him.
- The positioning is hard to explain but I'll try to do my best. Suppose that Skyshatterer is going East to West. You need to position yourself slightly south west of him facing north. You should also stay slightly above to avoid meteors as well but also be careful when he makes quick dives so the distance between you stay same. To proceed you should use your strafe keys in this scenario "q" key or "right click a" which is suitable for you. It may seem to be hard on initial tries but if you can get used to this this positioning and moving will give you huge advantage.
- When he ignites himself, if you're behind him try to close the distance or if possible go ahead of him about 15-20 yards and stop. If you're ahead of him immediately stop and re-position yourself to the optimum position again.
- During his dives or climbs try to keep the level but also watch for meteors. If you come too close you risk getting hit by meteors if you can't keep up the level difference you'll risk losing him. Knowing the path and learning when he dives or climbs helps a lot.
- This was suggested couple of times but it is still crucial: Remove all your armor before starting the race to avoid ridiculous amounts of repair costs.

Hope this helps..
Cheers

a good tip would be to use some of the noggenfoger elixir to make you smaller...it is obtained from a npc in tanaris and greatly increases both the dodging factor and the amount of screen you can see so you dont lose track of the captain.

Комментарий от 183831

This is the most frustrating quest I have ever tried to complete.

It's so buggy! He gets hit by his own stupid fireballs, and frequently doubles back and then it fails.

I HATE THIS STUPID QUEST.

=[

Комментарий от 401655

The feeling you get when you beat him. Wow.

You really need to do the race enough to where you can predict where he's going.
Another booster (it may sound odd but it worked for me) is to actually listen to Danger Zone.

Also I noticed all the other people you race are derived from Top Gun.
(Mulveric = Maveric, Ichman = Iceman Etc.)

Комментарий от Wed1

Personally, i think flying ahead of him is a bigger pain in the ass than behind him. He is just too buggy and he gets hit by his own flames so randomly that it's really hard not to fail the quest all the time by flying too far ahead.
The most useful thing to do is drink noggenfogger elixer. Being small really helps dodging, and actually makes it possible to beat him while flying behind him.

Also, memorise his route, that way you can always fly in the inside of his circle, and that makes it possible to catch up with him big time in the corners, which is necessary, because he flies too fast to just keep up with him. Secondly, fly a tiny bit below him (never above him) because then you have more time to dodge the meteors, then if you fly above him.

Besides that, be very lucky, don't give up, and put some nice music on, this is gonna take very long :p

Комментарий от Hezkezl

If a druid has a 310% speed mount, our flight form gets 'upgraded' to 310% as well. While every other 310% speed mount in the game gets reverted to 280% when you fly close enough to the Netherwing people to get the Dragonmaw Illusion, druids keep the same 310% speed. I just tested it out there and my speed didn't change when I got the Illusion buff.

Комментарий от 376263

Though i solo'd this myself after wasting lousy 15 minutes, i found out there is a simpler way of doing it when i was watching my friend doing it...

These are my tips!

1) I have figured that Captain skyshatter's meteor will only hit the closest 'party member'
2) find a druid friend...if you don't have one.../sigh...just try solo it ain't that hard even w/o those carpet/flight form anyway.
3) Put a raid mark like blue square (since meteor is red i find it the best)
4) tell your druid friend...go flight form and chase the drake like madman....get hit if neccesary, just re-flight form and tag him asap...for the person that's doing the quest...just make sure you stay farther away then your friend from the captain and his meteor won't even annoy you a bit -_-;;;

IF u are a dk you dont have to find a paladin but just go Unholly and get On a Pale Horse

Комментарий от 376340

Skyshatter is much harder to get than the others (who are all pretty much level-70 appropriate cake). The main problem you'll find is that without the ability to equip a riding crop, it'll look like you're doing fine and you'll suddenly fail it because you are "too far away". Having a 310 mount doesn't matter and the magic carpet now acts completely like a regular mount and you no longer "surf" your mount or get a "magic carpet buff"; you immediately go to a 280 netherdrake. The best way to get this one done is to take off your armor and get in a party (more people to take the flaming balls). Your party should include 5 people for optimal "soaking" and include a pally (for crusader) and druid (they can shift into flight-form even if they are knocked-off by a flaming ball). Then you just follow him, avoiding the balls at all costs. But, good luck finding 4 other people who want to help you do this, be prepared to tip or bribe lol. Nogginfogger is also a good idea, as it makes you smaller and therefore harder to hit. Be prepared to fill your bag as you'll need to take several Nogginfoggers to get the tiny-buff you are looking for.

Bth, this achievement is wickedly unfair in the sense that it is a "solo quest" which pretty much is impossible without being in a group or having the advantage of being a DK, Druid, or Pally. I'm really surprised Blizzard hasn't nerfed it! Good luck!

Комментарий от 472320

Finally got this. This one depends so much on your way of flying, how you choose to control your mount, etc... you may have to teach yourself a different way (IE pressing both mouse buttons, arrows, letters, spacebar).

It needs to be stated, again, don't forget to take your gear off, unless you really want to spend money on unnecessary repairs.

Above all, the two things you seem to need the most of is patience, and luck. I got knocked off many times seemingly out of thin air, and waiting for him to take off is trying (to say the least). Good luck.

Комментарий от Veren

Having just done this solo as a priest, the method I finally found that worked for me was to strafe the entire route (flying sideways; the Q and E keys by default). Stay at near max distance and far to his side rather than ahead of him.

The key to making it work is making sure you are always on the side that he will be turning to next; if his next turn is to the left, make sure you're on his left side.

If done correctly, Skyshatter stays constantly in your sight and you can always keep a check on when he doubles back or hits himself with his fire. You can also keep a pretty good distance from him which makes you much less likely to get hit by the meteors yourself. Most importantly, it helps you make the most of cutting corners when he turns without getting too far away from him. Definitely takes some practice to get used to his route and figure out when you need to be on which side, but very doable no matter what class you are!

Комментарий от mixter

just stand 15 feet away, 4-5 feet to a side and his meteors will often hit him, and not you

hope it helps

Комментарий от 38707

Completed this on my first attempt tonight with my rogue. Solo with no buffs of any kind. It was incredibly easy, I actually had a harder time with the race prior to this one. The trick is to fly above and slightly ahead of him and just look down so you can make sure to stop and avoid the rocks when he bombs himself.

Patch 3.3 made it so that you cannot be knocked off your flying mount. Awww yeah.

since 3.3 its cake....he doesnt knock you off the mount......only be awrae that if u get hit several times in a row he will crush you to the ground and die due to fall damage...........not a challenge anymore.

One time he hit himself, making him stand still. I didn't know that he could do that, so I accidently flew straight ahead and failed the quest. Be warned!

Комментарий от Soreleyn

I found these "Racing" quests fairly easy to complete, once I read the comments on here.

I found it the easiest to just fly high above each of them, trying to avoid the stuff they threw. I did not hide the ui, and I zoomed out as far as possible. This worked the best for me, doing these lying in bed with my mouse on the mattress ;)

It surely has gotten much easier, as you only get knocked back a bit if something hits you, so I never actually got dismounted during any of these.

Комментарий от twistedtwilight

Pro tip: from the time you take off till the time he lands is the exact SAME amount of time Danger Zone plays out.

Комментарий от xepla

I was able to complete this quest after about 4 failed attempts . This was probably much more difficult when it was possible to be knocked off your mount. Kudos to those who actually managed it back then.

My advice:
1. Learn the flight path on your first couple of tries.
2. Cut corners at every possible opportunity. Doing this without losing him is related to knowing his flight path -- that is, when and in which directions he will be turning.
3. Zoom out as far as you can. Remove your UI with alt+Z. Disable resource sucking addons. Do everything possible to reduce your lag.
4. Begin the race a bit ahead of him, and try to stay a little ahead.
5. Mark him with a Skull icon and concentrate on following and tracking that. This will simplify the learning process and make him easier to see.
6. STAY FOCUSED.
7. Play "Danger Zone"

Комментарий от alfonzzo

note that his bombs can still knock you out of flight form, so druids should ride a normal flying mount for this.

Комментарий от Dragoniel

It's a shame... Newbies will never understand what kind of achievement it was to beat captain Skyshatter prior to knockback and Skyshatter speed changes. What was once considered amongst the hardest achievements in the game, is now nothing but a shadow of former self.

I have 3 characters with netherdrakes, got them before the patch. I never managed to beat the captain - for days I've tried and tried and failed. And today, on my new alt... beaten all them pilots in one go, been hit twice, and not even on skyshatter.

It's a shame, really.

Комментарий от 92125

I have seen several posts up top about him not flying faster than 280% now. I don't know if I am just lagging a little bit (which I highly doubt I am), but he seems to definitely still fly faster than any Artisan flying mount. I have been trying to get this achievement for a little bit now, and I keep losing because he gets too far ahead on the parts where we are mostly just flying straight, and there are no corners than I can cut to close the gap.

Комментарий от Likkan

It may be a unnecessary move but i found out the head/back spike your Netherdrake got can be used to aim theyr missiles to backfire them.

And yea i agree on the former posts...Poor Skyshatter was the good likely hardest event ingame.

And toggle friendly health bars aswell for the tricky Wing Commanders.

Комментарий от greg098

This achievement is very hard. I felt like ripping my hair out trying to do this. Even with the nerf, it's still very annoying. One day I tried like 40 times to beat him and never did. Today I went back and did it in 3 tries. Was he nerfed more? I think so!

Комментарий от rzzr

I found it easier not to use Alt Z as then the raid icon disapeared. Eat some tracking food and this will allow you to see him in your mini map (hunter's need not bother). You have to cut corners at 80 as the riding whip doesn't work and so if you stick with him he will lose you on the straight bits (he definately flies faster than 280%).
The most important corners to cut at the start are when he flies of the end of the runway and does a loop back, you need to be up with him when he flies back over the runway. As he heads away from the island before turning left you need to cut that corner as much as possible or you will lose him on the straight bit after that.
Seeing him in the mini map helps enormously because if you cut the corner too tight you will fail. Expect to spend some time on this quest, it took me about 10-15 times.

Комментарий от 619897

It's child's play! Really, it is! Literally...

I did well with all of them but struggled with Mulveric badly, he kept hiding among the crystals and being on a much smaller mount it made him difficult to spot again if he ducked out of line of sight behind a crystal, rock outcrop or another passing drake for a second. I also found his lightning attacks oddly blinding, especially when he hit himself and I was a bit too close. Shyshatter seemed easy in comparison, my first run through with him I got as far as to slowly and uncontrollably drift to the ground from being hit by a final bombardment of his fireballs as he vanished by the entrance of the runway right at the end... (sigh). I needed a brain-break by this stage and when I took it, the achievement was reached.

What worked for me...

1. <Alt+Z> clear the screen.
2. Fly on his inner wing as much as possible (eg: if you see him turning left, get on his left side)
3. Stay calm and focused, and if you don't have a copy of Danger Zone, sing/hum it... yes it does work! The speed and turns actually do indeed seem to flow with the music.
4. Be a hunter with Beastmastery spec and have it build to give you the 10% extra speed when mounted - I not only kept up with him on the straights but in the turns actually had to stop a few times and let him catch up to me!
5. Don't have a toddler trying to tug at your arm for attention as you're nearing the last turn to the runway.
6. When it starts to frustrate you, take a break - and let your 10 yr old son who has never flown a WoW mount before let alone done the previous quests have a (supervised) try just for fun with the belief that he can't do any worse than you... It took him one test run to learn the controls and know what to expect, one quitted run because some smuck player tried to fly alongside and distracted him too much, and then he took one serious shot at it and got it.

Skyshatter's reputation was just shattered by a kid.

My god this one made me angry lol. got it in my 12th attempt i think. never got this good a feeling after completing a quest :D Were hoping that he would hit himself to slow down a bit but it never happened. luckily i managed to get some distance in the last few corners and beat him. Really awesome quest but veery irritating also.

Out on Netherwing Ledge to do the dailies I remained mounted on my Nether-Rocket and kept the 310% speed increase. Good Old Captain Skyshatter can't outrun a Rocket Orc!

Not sure if this is a bug from the 4.0 patch, but it's even easier to get this achievement right now.

Rocket Orc!

Edit: Went back out to try some other mounts like the Snowy Gryphon and an Ironbound Proto-Drake but they were transformed. The Nether-Rocket and Swift Flight Form were the only ways I could retain 310% mounted speed.

I bought Master Riding and a Celestial Steed a couple of days ago, and man did this and the other timed riding achievements get easier! Got this one on the first try this way, had been failing on a "regular" +280 mount.

As of patch 4.0.1, if you have purchased the Master flying skill in Dalaran, your netherdrake that you morph into will be a 310% mount instead of the 280% mount that it used to be. Good knowledge.

Posted this before I did the quest, and it was a piece of cake keeping up with Skyshatter, even getting hit a few times didn't make me lose. Now all of you can get this achievement with relative ease now!

Everyone is saying how easy this is with a 310% mount. Let me elaborate on this a bit.

I've been trying to do this quest with a 280% mount with Artisan riding, and I've officially decided this is impossible now without a 310% mount. Sure, the meteors will no longer knock you off your mount, but they WILL knock you back. Though, even with never getting knocked back, there are several points in time where the Captain flies in a straight line for an extended period of time, therefore making him (with a 310% speed) get ahead of a 280%. I've failed on the straightaways simply because he got too far away from being a faster flier.

So, unless you're fortunate enough to have a raiding guild to get an achievement 310% mount, or you've been lucky enough to get a Time-Lost or win a roll on a dropped 310%, you need to drop the 5k gold to get the 310% flying in order to finish this as of 4.0.1.

*sigh*

After you get this achievement the Sha'tari Skyguard NPC's treat you with a lot more respect :) Even quest text changes.

About as hard as the race before him. Stay low to the ground, because when he gets high, he will come back down and you can cut him off. His basic flight plan is a figure 8. Stay inside of him to make up ground when he cuts back. And don't dodge fire if you are pretty far back- just go, the fire only hits you if you are real close to him. If you get hit you are close, if you try to dodge being too far back, you are going to loose too much distance with the correction and fail.

I did this achivement recently and found that the sparks and fireballs that would normally dismount you no longer do. I have 310% flying and was using just a normal flying mount. I got hit several times, aside from the knock back I was never dismounted and this can easily be done now.

Комментарий от 745140

I did this one today, now with 310% and it indeed did not knock you off if getting hit, it was about the same difficulity as the one before but he makes long straight flies so if you use 280% mount as I did back in TBC you have to calculate for the turn before thoose marathons.

Overall it was very easy, not getting knocked of the mount anymore is a real relief.

Комментарий от Dzee315

This achievement is a whole lot easier after the 4.0.1, patch since u will go 310% there, and not be converted back to a 280% (confirmed, it says 310% on the buff of the dragonmaw mount), also easier after the actual cataclysm expansion. If your in a guild, you'll get increased mount speed with 1 of the level's which help u fly, now i don't know if my add-on is incorrect, but it is telling me that I'm going the speed of 310% and with the guild speed added.

Комментарий от Melilithia

Well then... back in WotLK I tried this on my Lock and could not even begin to pass it. Lost sight and got "Quest Failed" every time.

Tried this on my DK yesterday and beat him relatively easy the FIRST TIME. WITHOUT 310% riding. I'm guessing the guild buff kicks in.

Комментарий от 795014

Take a pally friend with you and have him use Crusader Aura. After that it doesn't matter if you have 280 or 310, it's good game

Комментарий от Catoria

Did it. Probably about ten tries, and I'm female so I went ahead and cried. Read the instructions and what wound up working is exactly what most people said. Do your dead level best to stay ahead and possibly above. I KNOW that some of it was luck, because he just despawned too many times for no apparent reason (hence my tears.)

Good luck!

Комментарий от Elfgar

Did this first try with my Sandstone Drake. Placing an X raid icon on him helped as well as staying in front and above a little as mentioned in others comments . I had up crusader aura and my guild has the speed buff too (although I don't think these mattered). It was way easier than I thought it would be. I think that the fctor of me transforming into actually being the Sandstone Drake helped a great deal, as I was one with my mount and did not have the distraction of myself blocking my vision with me being saddled as a passenger. I had an unobstructed view. It might be possible that two people could get this at the same time with a friend being your passenger on the Sandstone Drake.

Комментарий от 404037

it's really easy now with the guild perk. I have 418 % speed and i don't have the master riding skill.

Комментарий от Kazlehoff

Meh, Trivial with 310 and no dismount. bet its even worse now with the mount up guild perk. no challenge whatsoever.

Комментарий от 834736

I thought the flight before Skyshatter was more difficult. This one? Piece of cake.

Комментарий от 163020

If you are unable to get the quest, notice that some regular yellow chain quests may be hidden under blue arrow (daily) NPCs.

Highway to the Danger Zone!

Комментарий от 581854

the comments saying you don't get knocked off your mount are false
they just have been lucky

you WILL get knocked off your mount OR out of flightform (i'm a druid), and the fall damage will eat 90% of your health, even at 85
worse: as soon as you fall, you fail the quest!

so despite the speed nerf, it's still one hell of an achie.
the ones stating here that it's a piece of cake have been nothing but lucky.
sheer luck, not skill!

that's all.

Комментарий от Shemmari

pretty easy achievement now! i remember doing this back in tbc was so annoying, took me 2 tries to do this as i didn't know that i dont have to be ahead to finish the race :p, 2nd try was it good luck =]

*tip : just start moving whenever he start throwing bombs at u and cut the distance on the short cuts.

Комментарий от NavikRedstar

I've found it also helps if you put a raid target icon over Skyshatter's head, it makes it far harder to accidentally lose track of him with a big skull or X floating over his head. 310% speed certainly helps, though.

Комментарий от Gimroth

One of the most rewarding achievements there is. Or rather, used to be.
Completing this quest after memorizing the entire track and flying ahead of Captain Skyshatter, whilst flying on a 280% mount with only 30 or 40y, whichever it was, room to spare. It still fills me with pride when I think of that 43rd attempt, the one that did succeed, the first character I ever tried it on ^^.

It's a shame they changed the error margin to 100 yards.

Комментарий от Endinglife

Just completed this on my 85 rogue. Only good advise I can contribute is bring the camera into first person mode, for whatever reason it just seemed easier this way. Also, keep a good amount of distance on any of the levels, but if you need to catch up to them so you don't fail the quest, do this when they turn.

Good luck everyone!

Комментарий от 528718

Beat him some time back, and it was by no means easy. Got knocked off my mount several times, but eventually I learned the rout and he went down. This was before I had 310% speed as well. One thing that I found helped a lot was simply playing 'Highway to the Dangerzone' during the whole event, as the beat and harmonization are actually well in time with the meteors, and the psychological boost is not to be underestimated.

Комментарий от Zoazta

Had issues with that forever and thought I should go and try it once again today have not done it in a year or so.
The new focus on minimap really helps.
Can allmost fly infront of him non stop.

Комментарий от 1013295

AKDarlor's post was very helpful.. I changed my camera view to max far..After 6 attempts to beat Cpt Skyshatter. Got it on the first try after changing it. Almost broke a nail.. j/k I stayed above him the whole time and kept him in far view, so I could see where he was going. Just wanted to say thanks to Ak

Комментарий от Taliesen

You must be Honored with Netherwing in order to start this quest chain. In order to challenge Captain Skyshatter, you have to first defeat the 5 mounted NPCs standing in front of him. The encounters increase in difficulty with Skyshatter being the most difficult.

Before you start:
• Having 310% riding helps considerably.
• I believe the guild perk "Mount Up" (+10% mounted speed) also works.
• Set your camera to max distance. Do this by going to Interface -> Camera -> Max Camera Distance and putting the slider all the way on the right. Then use your mouse wheel to zoom out as far as you can.

During the quest:
• Skyshatter will throw a barrage of meteors at you every 5 seconds or so. There will be lots of them and then will fall at a diagonal angle. He will cast it in your general direction, but the meteors will not seek you out or follow you.
• If you get hit by a meteor, you will be knocked back a few yards.
• You need to stay close to him or you will get a "Quest Failed" message. I didn't measure, but I would guess it was 20-25 yards or so.
• You will get the achievement immediately upon defeating him. You do not need to turn in the quest to get the achievement.
• With the reputation guild perk, as a non-human, the quest gives 1100 Netherwing rep.

Tips:
• Stay in front of him if at all possible. It is better to be ahead of him than behind him in case he makes an unexpected turn.
• At least twice, he attempts to trick you and will change directions rapidly 2-3 times within a few seconds. Be aware.
• The meteors are not hard to dodge. The easiest methods I found were to strafe to the side or to fly upward slightly.
• Keep him targeted. It makes him easier to see.
• He turns pretty slowly. Take advantage of this and cut corners to catch up to him.
• Watch out for the crystal formations. If you run into one, you may momentarily land on it and fall behind Skyshatter.

How long does this take (or is it supposed to take?) I flew for 11 minutes, following him, not getting hit, then it just seemed so tedious, I landed when he yelled (for like the 20th time "MULVERICK!") it said failed. Read here that it should only take the time for dangerzone which is like 3½ minutes.

Can anyone confirm doing this post MoP?

Комментарий от Ovahealz

I beat Captain Skyshatter and all I got is this lousy Trinket.

Комментарий от Xdflames

I was able to complete this on the first attempt by following these tips:

Use your mouse to turn and fly.
Use X and Spacebar (default keybindings) to move up and down

To go along with this, each time he starts casting the meteors, simply move straight down, then immediately straight up. After a couple times, you will get used to this. Simply use your mouse to steer and stay right behind him until the meteors start falling.

Комментарий от Jochi

The first few times I tried this "Captain Skyshatter" disappeared even though I was practically on top of him.
After turning of my add ons this never happened again.
Using a combination of mouse steering and strafing left and right with the odd space bar use chucked in I was able to complete easily.

Комментарий от Gershuun

There's not much to this achievement anymore. Get Honored with Netherwing. Капитан Небокрушитель is at 65, 85 in Shadowmoon Valley.

I tried it for the first time, got hit by about 10 meteors and still got the achievement. Just steer with your mouse and follow him around for free achievement points.

Комментарий от Azerothi

To make this easy for you make sure to target them with an icon and to enable tracking of targets on the minimap and always fly above them this way you wouldn't lose them

Комментарий от Whitehatcrazy

When following him, fly high above him and he will shoot 90% of his fireballs underneath you, so you can follow him easily. The only time he shoots upward is when he is descending.

Комментарий от Svorth

Did it at first try, not so hard for me as Mulverick was.
Mounted on 310% Time-Lost Proto-Drake. Trying to stay above him all the time

Комментарий от lazarious

Just did this today on Destromath US Horde. The flight was like 5 minutes, he still chucks bombs all the time but I stayed above or to his left or right, dodged most of them easily. You don't get the achievement upon landing you have to turn in the quest so based on older comments I think they fixed it.
